medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The writer expresses optimism regarding the Babangida Administration's efforts to ascertain Nigeria's population. This optimism stems from the recognition that having accurate population data is crucial for various aspects of governance, policy-making and resource allocation. Despite highlighting the challenges and adverse effects of not having reliable population figures earlier in the passage, the writer acknowledges that addressing this issue is a positive step forward.
The passage indicates that the lack of accurate population data has led to problems in development planning, education schemes, revenue allocation, and policymaking. However, the writer sees the Babangida Administration's initiative to gather accurate population data as a potential solution to these issues. This positive outlook suggests that the writer believes that addressing the population problem can lead to better-informed policies, more effective development planning and fairer revenue allocation.

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Since the system is on the verge of moving, let the resultant force on \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) be F = 0
so, \(m_2\): F = \(m_2\)g - T = 0 so that \(m_2\)g = T ---------- 1
for \(m_1\) : F = T - \mu \(m_1\) g = 0, so that T = \mu \(m_1\)g ---------- 2
equating 1 and 2 above;
Therefore \(m_2\)g = \mu\(m_1\)g
\mu = \(\frac{m_2}{m_1}\)
